Legalized State Primary Law- -The Proposed State Building. Special to The Times. Kaleinh, Fabruary 8. A matter that lias taken a front seat 'for serious cnideration a.t this stage of the pro cecdings (when half of the session has been spent and most of the more important matters are yet to be dis posed of as usual ) is the proposed Ie ailzed State Primary Law. The more radical advocates of this sweeping change, which at present incorporated .the' proposition to compel 'all parties to nominate the candidates of their respective arties and to be voted on at the ensuing election on one certain and same day are demanding that the candidates to "be ' so named shall in clude all the names of the men who can be voted on for United States Senators -at the .polls and that the Legislature (no matter what its polit ical complexion) s-liall carry out the! edict of the popular will as ex pressed at the polls, whether the Sen atorial candidate who received the winning vote in the -primary "shall be a 'member of the political partv con trolling the Legislature or not. Two remarkable instances of the application of this new political fash ion have jut'" 'been witnessed, by the election off a Republican Senator by ilie Democratic legislature of Nebras ka and the election' of a Democratic senator by the Republican legislature of Oregon. The friends of Simmons (who won his first election through a primary over Gen. J. S. Carr) and Governor Kitchin (whose aspirations to succeed Simmons are well known) claim that both these gentlemen are favorably inclined! to a siate (primary for Senator next year. "Whether either or both favor the "whole-hog" and all par ties primary plan, this deponent saitlr naught, being in (blissful igno rance on t hat detail of the proposition. But whether there is a legalized state primary law enacted or not and whether there is a senatorial state primary or not, there are more or less defined and persistent assertions to the effect chat Messrs.-Simmons and Kitchin may as well prepare them selves to face a three cornered en counter when the battle for the sen atorship is fought out. And the statement is certainly nothing to be surprised over, when one steps a mo ment and thinks of the splendid tim ber in North Carolina for making: Senators for Uncle Sam's legislature. It would be a great thing for Uncle Sam if he would draw on North Car olina much oftener when seats need ed to be tilled in the Senate of the United States. It begins to appear very prohable, despite much of the more or less over drawn "'anxiety'' concerning the ((Ion ifz-.fi It.- tJ.S.. 1 r J ? - l-v . , 1 . . . . n . for such purposes .that the State is (this time going to get started on the ground floor, at least, of that long and much needed State 'building ' fcr the accommodation of many of the state executive and judicial depart ments of government, and at the same time make room for the legislative branch to stretch out its legs under the table -while at work. Also to al low the' lawmakers enough salary to ahleat pay their board bills at some decent "abode during the sixty days thev devote to the State s work. Senator Boyd en who presented the bill calling for one million dollars (bonds to that amount to be issued if necessary to obtain the requisite funds) for the .purchase of the square northwest of the present capitdl building (part of which is already owned and vised by the State) is push ing it along and is very sanguine o,f success, he tells me: LLEWXAM. A Sewing Bee. 'Mrs. Virginia Erwrn was hostess yesterday to a number of friends, the occasion being a sewing bee. The en tire day was spent in sewing and de lightful converse.

Teeter vs. Cole Manufacturing Co. Decided in Favor of the Plaintiff. In .the can? of M. F Teeter v the Cole Manufacturing Co. the jury re turned a verdict in favor of the plain titr for 2Hi.OO and interest from the time the lumber was unloaded at Cha lotte. The plaintiff alleged that he shipped the defendant company a car load of lumber on a contract and that when the lumber was received by the company they used only a part of it and reected a large amount. The plaintiff was suing for $206, the amount he alleged the lumber was worth. The'dcfendant company alleg ed that only a small part of the lum ber was the size the concract called for and that, they used this and re jected the other. , Montgomery & Crowell represented' the plaintiff, and Senator L. T. Hartsell, the defendant. " The court is now healing evidence in the case o-f Shepherd vs. Yorke Furniture Co. The plaintiff alleges that he received an injury ro his eye while in the employment of the defen dant company and is asking damages to the amount rf $10,000. K. R. Pres ton and T. D. Maness represent the plaintiff and Montgomery t Crowell, the defendant. Court Adjourns. Cabarrus Superior court adjourn ed Friday afternoon and Judge Biggs left next morning for his home in -Durham.. All the cases that have not been tried have been continued until next term. Judge Biggs set aside the verdict in the case of Teeter vs. The Cole "Manufacturing Co., on the ground that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence. The jury awarded Mr. Teeter $206.00. the amount he alleged was due on a shipment of lumber to the plaintiff company, which they rejected. The case will be tried at the next term of court. The case of W. S. Shepherd vs. the Yorke Furniture Co., which was be gun yesterday afternoon, was contin ued to allow plaintiff to amend com plaint. Shepherd was suing the com pany for damages for injury to an eye while working with one of the machines at the factory, and the com plaint was in error as to the kind of machine he was working at when the alleged injury was sustained.

Ritchie Boys at Training School Total $144.18 For Salisbury-Monroe Railroad. Monroe Journal. The Journal desires to say candid ly that in its opinion the proposition of the Salisbury railroad people to come through this county, expecting eventually to get a southward con nection, is the best thing that has been offered in a long ime. It is true that they ask the townships concerned to use their credit to a certain ex en to aid in building the road, but this is coupled, as an absolute guaran tee' of good faith, with the condition that wre issue our bonds only after the , trains have been running regular ly over he road. This takes the ques tion entirely out of the range of un certainty, and narrows us down to the simple question of whether we are willing to ptu forth a reasonable ef fort to get a railroad that all think ing men must see would be a vast benefit to the town and county. Monument at Guilford Battle Ground. Representative Charles R. Thomas, of North Carolina, Tuesday succeeded in having passed by the House the bill, which previously had the Senate, ap propriating $30,000 for a monument ax Guilford Courthouse, N. C, to Maj Gen. Nathaniel Greene, the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle of Guilford. The Senate gave $25,000 for this statue only to Greene. , The House enlarged the scope of the bill so as to honor all who fought in the battle and increased the Senate's appropriation $5,000. Plans for the monument will be approved bv the Secretary of War and officers of the Guilford Battle Ground Company. On Friday, February 17, Mr. J. B. Cochrane, of No. 11 township, will sell his household and kitchen furniture at public auction. . " " THE INTERURBAN COMING. Mr. Lee Says Work on the Line tor Concord Will Begin la a Short Time. It is only a matter of a short time untij the interurban car line will be a reality in Concord. Mr. W. S. Lee wasjsent a copy of The Tribune con taining the expressions of a' number of citizens here favoring the line, and he immediately wrote one of these cit izens tn at 'work on the car ;line to Concord would begin in a short time.

BILL NYE ilEMORlXL BUILDING Scperintendent Joyner Urges TeAchen and School Children to Aid ia this Worthy Cause. To the County Saeriatcndects xnl the Piibhc School Techcn: The public pre of North Carolina ha always repnu!sj ueneroa!y a?wl unelSshly to every call of the public schools for emcc, and no ayencv ha$ been more potent in promoting the de velopment of these schools and the progress of education in the State. The countv superintendent and, the public school teacher now have an opportunity to express - their- appre ciation of this erviee, and to render at the same time a valuable service to a most worthy caue by co-operan;l heartily with the "Bill Nye Memorial Committer" in their commendable ef fort to raise funds for the erection of a cental or main building at the "Stonewall Jackn Manual Traininz School," to be known as the "Itill Nye Memorial Building." The committee has prepared an in teresting program for the celebration of Bill Nye Day in the public 'schools. An hour devoted co honoring the memory of such a man. who loved all children and all men, who devote,! hi splendid talents to making them hap pier and better through ' his writing, will bo properly sjent. I earnestly roiuest and urge the county superintendent of each county to distribute these programs to the public school teachers of the countv, accompanied by a letter to each teacher, directing the setting apart of an hour in the school for this cele bration, and urging the hearty co-op eration of the teacher for the success of ihe celebration. The noble work of the Stonewall Jackson Training School for giving wayward boys of the State a chance to have a chance to be trained into good, citizens should appeal strongly to the hearts, of the children of the public schools, who but for the mercy of God might be like these wayward boys. It is a privilege, therefore, for these children to have an opportunity to make a. contribution to such a work. It will do them goodr- I earnest ly urge, therefore, that county superin tendents and teachers lend their hear ty co-operation in securing at least a penny contribution from every child in the public schools for the erection of the Bill Nve Memorial Building for increasing the facilities at the State's school for training wayward boys. I designate Wednesday, the 22nd dav of February, for this celebration. I suggest that the teacher devote an hour on this day to reading to the pu pils this booklet and to arousing an enthusiastic interest in Bill Nye and his work and in the work of the Stonewall Jackson Training School, concluding with a nearnest appeal for a contribution df at least one penny from every child, to be brought next morning. All, contributions should be for warded, by the teacher or ihe princi pal of the school to Mr. R. W. Vin cent, Secretary of the Bill Nye Me morial Committee, Charlotte, N. C, and they will be acknowledged in the columns of the Charlotte Observer. .Verv trulv yours, J. Y. JOYNER, Supt. Public Instruction. Address on Land Eeclamation.
